I saw on X today that the Binance Alpha airdrop has reached its 100th round! 🚀

From its initial "testing the waters" to its current status as an "old friend," it's witnessed countless on-chain stories: some discovered hidden gems, others reaped their first Web3 profits, and still others rely on it to watch Alpha updates daily.

Looking through my Alpha history is like opening an "on-chain diary": 750 BULLA, 2,667 AVAIL, 1,250 HUMA... Each transaction is etched with the market conditions, discussions, and emotions of the time.

The one that left the deepest impression on me was the NXPC—at its peak, the profit per order reached 700 units, and I sold over 400 units.

Looking at the sold balance on the screen at the time felt like a combination of a roller coaster and a sprint race—nervous and exciting.

Alpha has undergone many changes along the way to where it is today.

Initially, it was a snapshot of transaction volume: those who reached 50 or 100 U the previous day had a chance to claim. Later, it evolved into a points-based system, then to a fixed quota, a lucky number at the end of the digit, and a "first-come, first-served" system based on a certain number of points.

These rule changes are actually a reflection of Binance listening to user feedback.

For example, during the "first-come, first-served" period, many people were slow to sign up and missed out. So, Binance changed it to prioritize those who met a certain high score. Then, the quotas were reduced over time, allowing more people to have a chance to share in the rewards.

In my opinion, Alpha isn't just about issuing tokens; it's more like a process of repeated participation and continuous improvement.

The rules and rewards are changing, but the goal of "allowing more users to enjoy the fun of airdrops" remains unchanged.

For me, every claim is a learning experience: the airdrop allowed me to study HUMA's DeFi model and understand AVAIL's modular approach. Even the huge profits I made from NXPC made me realize that staying with Alpha means staying ahead of opportunities.

100 issues is just a number; behind it are countless hours of redemption, coupon grabbing, research, and discussion.

I don't know what the future Alpha will look like, but I do know this: I'll continue to wait for the next surprise.

I'd like to thank Binance @币安Binance华语 for allowing even a small retail investor to experience the benefits of web3!
